OFFICIAL OPENING OF BALTIC SEA PULP CENTRE

T he Mussalo Harbour D area and the Baltic Sea Pulp Cen- tre were officially opened for use on 3 October 2019. The opening ceremony was held in the presence of around 100 invited guests at the newly completed pulp terminal. The first pulp terminal built at the pulp centre will serve UPM’s pulp exports by sea. The ceremony opened with a welcoming speech by citizen of Kotka Juho Eerola (Finns Party), Second Deputy Speaker of the Parliament. Opening speeches were also given by representatives of the project’s partners Port of HaminaKotka Ltd and Steveco Ltd. The opening of the event also included a visit to the new D area of

the harbour located next to the pulp terminal. In a major contract, Terramare implemented a 220 metres long retaining quay wall, 20-hectare harbour basin area and a 620 metres long breakwa- ter. The harbour basin has been deepened to a minimum depth of −17.5 metres, which will enable the Baltic Sea’s largest cargo vessels to visit the port. The D-area contract was also a significant project for Terramare, utilising all of the company’s areas of core expertise, such as dredging, underwater drilling and blasting, sea- ward rock-filling, slipform casting and quay construction.
